CHAPTER 477: CHAPTER 461: DIRECT ATTACK ON THE IMPERIAL CAPITAL_1

A bloody glow shrouded the Void over Sword Pavilion Pass.

Facing the ferocious Qin army, the soldiers of the three great powers were utterly unmatched. They either died tragically under the blade, surrendered on their knees, or turned and fled!

Within less than five minutes, four Qin army divisions had the tower surrounded, their overwhelming might causing the Void to solidify.

Zheng Guiqiong and Xiong Lie’s faces were pale, their eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness.

They hated the Great Qin Saint’s Court. If not for this stumbling block, they would still be the masters of the holy land, dictators of the East Border, ruling over countless living beings. It was all because of the Great Qin Saint’s Court, which continually opposed them and led to their downfall.

Similarly, they were also deeply unwilling. Why was it that in their engagements against the Great Qin Saint’s Court, they were always at a disadvantage, continuously beaten back, powerless to resist?

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, and Wang Jian, gripping their weapons, slowly ascended the stairs of the watchtower. Their pace was unhurried, but with each step, their auras intensified, becoming as towering as mountains, as vast as the sea.

"Kill!" Zheng Guiqiong took a deep breath, her battle sword slashing through the air as she launched her attack. Countless beautiful petals danced—one, two, three, a myriad of them—each carrying an ultimate sharpness.

Guan Yu shook his head. How could the strength of an ant shake a tree?

He exerted strength in his right hand!

The Azure Dragon Crescent Blade slashed down.

An aura of death flowed through the Void.

The sky full of dancing flower petals, tainted by this aura of death, quickly withered, returning to annihilation and Voidness, shrouding Zheng Guiqiong.

"Great Qin...will be destroyed!" Even at the precipice of death, Zheng Guiqiong’s tone was still filled with venomous resentment.

In the next breath, her alluring body was cleaved in two. Blood splattered everywhere, dyeing the tower red as her life and soul were extinguished.

"The Foreign Races shall endure for eternity!" Witnessing Zheng Guiqiong’s death, Xiong Lie’s despair turned to madness. His gaze turned savage as his body began to swell, exuding a violent aura that struck fear into onlookers.

He intended to self-destruct, taking his enemies down with him!

CLANG!

A Longsword was unsheathed.

A glimmer of blue Sword Qi flickered.

Then, like a punctured balloon, Xiong Lie deflated, his aura instantly withering.

On his neck, a thin line of blood slowly appeared. The wound grew larger and larger until his entire head was severed, sent flying tens of zhang away by the gushing blood.

Wang Jian slowly sheathed his battle sword, his eyes cold and merciless.

「High above」

Huo Qubing roared coldly, "Champion Over the Three Armies!" An unparalleled spear Qi emerged, its valor supreme under heaven, sweeping across the Azure Firmament. Like a war god descending, he thrust out an invincible strike.

BOOM!

In the Void, ten thousand zhang before him, a heavily wounded expert from the Eternal Temple watched his pupils shrink, the hairs on his body stand on end, and his heart palpitate with fear.

Danger!

As he watched the incoming spear Qi, his dark pupils turned blood-red. Amidst the surging black qi, wisps of blood qi were intermingled. Two black-red chains tore through the air, their aura reaching the peak of the Great Emperor Realm!

BOOM!

The chains shattered.

The spear Qi, like a dragon, unleashed endless destructive intent, tearing apart the Nine Heavens.

"This...?" The Eternal Temple expert was horrified. He couldn’t understand why Huo Qubing, also a Great Emperor Realm Martial Artist, possessed such overwhelming power that it made him feel like a mere ant!

Huo Qubing strode forward!

A terrifying destructive force directly tore the Eternal Temple expert in half. His body, comparable to a Saint-rank artifact, exploded inch by inch!

Standing amidst the blood mist, Huo Qubing’s face was not flushed, nor was he out of breath. He gave the impression of having merely crushed an ant, rather than slaying a peak Great Emperor Realm enemy.

He looked down towards Sword Pavilion Pass and saw Xiong Lie being killed. "Brothers, may you rest in peace!" Huo Qubing muttered, closing his eyes for a moment to savor the tranquility. Before this battle, he hadn’t dared to close his eyes and rest. The moment he did, the faces of his fallen brothers would appear in his mind. Now, vengeance was served!

Ten breaths later, Huo Qubing opened his eyes. He looked up at the sky, a cold smirk spreading across his face as he gazed at Soul Annihilation, who was augmented by the Fortune of the ’Three Holy Halls’.

"Relay the order! Attack the ’Three Holy Halls’ and shatter their Fortune!" Huo Qubing commanded loudly as he landed on the ground.

"Kill!"

The eight thousand soldiers of the Great Desert Army roared in unison. Men and horses charged as one, transforming into over eight thousand streaks of light, crossing Sword Pavilion Pass to penetrate deep into Kylin Territory.

Soon, the sound of horse hooves faded, disappearing over the horizon. Their speed was so great that Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, and Wang Jian could only watch their dust.

"Let’s go occupy the rest of Kylin Territory!" Guan Yu suggested.

All the powerful Martial Artists of the ’Three Holy Halls’ were gathered at Sword Pavilion Pass. They posed no threat to the Great Desert Army, so there was no need for multiple armies to encircle them. Besides, the Great Desert Army consisted entirely of cavalry; their speed was too great. By the time the other legions arrived, the battle would likely be long over!

"Alright!"

Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, and Wang Jian nodded. Each chose a different direction and led their armies in a rushing offensive.

The five legions, carrying a monstrous Evil Qi, rampaged through Kylin Territory.

With every city they conquered, the Fortune empowering Soul Annihilation weakened. From initially contending on equal terms, he was gradually suppressed by Guo Jia.

"The situation is dire!" Soul Annihilation muttered, frowning. I wonder if Soul Heart and Soul Obsession have begun their move yet? His gaze frequently darted eastward, a trace of anxiety and unease in his eyes.

Could the Eternal Temple’s hidden card be... Guo Jia also noticed Soul Annihilation’s subtle movements. He glanced towards the Imperial Capital, a hint of worry appearing as he instinctively quickened the pace of his attacks.

In an instant, countless terrifying attacks filled the Heavenly Universe, obliterating anything they touched.

「Meanwhile, within the territory of the Great Qin Saint’s Court」

Two shadowy streams of light, as fast as lightning, rapidly approached the Imperial Capital.

Both emanated powerful auras and a terrifying pressure, like two mountains bearing down. The terrifying aura roiled the Heavenly Universe of the Great Qin Saint’s Court. Chaos followed in their wake.

Within the Imperial Palace, the Emperor and his ministers were gathered, awaiting the latest battle reports. The atmosphere was solemn and quiet.

Suddenly, a thunderous roar echoed across the Heavenly Universe, "Emperor of Great Qin, come out and face your death!"

Two vast auras enveloped the Imperial Capital, causing the entire city to tremble. Buildings shook, seeming as if they might topple from the sky.

The commoners living in the city looked up, their faces pale, a mixture of shock and disbelief in their eyes. To think that experts dared to cause trouble in the Imperial Capital!

ROAR!

Nine dragon roars echoed as golden formation lights flickered, deflecting the terrifying pressure and giving the city’s inhabitants a moment to breathe.

Qin Wudao rose, his expression calm, and led the assembled officials out of the Imperial Palace.

"Who dares to intrude?" Zhuge Liang demanded coldly, his face stern.

The officials all wore grave expressions. They were aghast to realize that the overwhelming auras emanating from the two figures in the sky were somewhat similar to Prime Minister Guo’s. Could it be... these are two Origin Great Emperor Realm Martial Artists?
